Fifty years ago, one of the most notorious unsolved cases in Michigan began. Four kids vanished and were found murdered in Oakland County between February 1976 and March 1977.

Cathy, great WWJ interview. WDIV-hmmm, Bouchard thinks it can be solved. Well, why in the f… is he not doing anything re testing? Lots of lip service on his part. Oh, if I knew of something nefarious going on I’d do something-yeah, right.
I do not know why, but Oakland County and MSP do not like each other.
Bless you Ms Broad, bless your family and bless the other three families. I say three victims but there were countless others. I know it was countless others. No justice for any of them.
RIP Matty L. Davis from the Cass- survivor of abuse until the alcohol and drug abuse he put himself through so as not to remember.
You were fantastic, Cathy. I take some heart in the fact that this was the most acknowledgment of the existence of a coverup or obstruction I’ve seen in the mainstream media. The less it becomes a dirty word or stigmatized as “conspiracy” the sooner officials will be forced to come clean.
And in the you can’t make this or the timing up, consider this:

“Vulgar” children’s books are so, so much worse than Chris Busch’s CSAM and rapes, right?
It has always fascinated me that by the time that Fatboy pulled out his suitcase of CSAM and garrottes and rope- that shit was illegal. Federally and state. It had supposedly been illegal in the state under the obscene materials laws longer than the Federal law(feds made CSAM illegal in 1976, possession and sale both as I understand the statute).
Ok, Why didn’t they haul his ass in and add an obscene materials charge to his laundry list of molestation charges that his attorney was ever so adept at cutting him plea deals on ? Or did he have literal carte blanche and know it ? For the piggers was it just going through the motions of “Please don’t get us in trouble with H. Lee, I really like my “corporate security job” loaner, I sure don’t want to make your dad mad.”
How many literal graves built the staircase for Brooks Patterson ?
You know how many of my questions will ever see answers ? None in my lifetime.
The cops enjoyed beating the hell out of Matt for scrapping copper from the old Packard plant. For buying opiates from a “street pharmacist” too. But they were not there for him as a little boy growing up in the Cass with no father(his father died when he was 1yr old in country, Vietnam).
One of those “Good Christians” out there said “Well if his life was so hard he’s better off dead.” If there is some higher power, I can honestly say it has been a blessing not to have that “Good Christian” in my life.
First of all, I am sorry for your friend Matt. “Better off dead”?? Spoken like a “true” Christian. Sure, Jesus will be there in the afterlife when Ike McKinnon and his crew were not when it really counted.
I don’t live in OC and haven’t for 50 years, but I’m assuming you are referring to some monument to Mr. OC Business Moneybags, Mr. Law and Order, Mr. Cling to Power, LBP. How many literal graves under such a monument to LBP? No doubt many. And many, many other lives damaged. All covered with the veneer of the coveted Triple A bond rating for that corrupt county.
All of your points are excellent. Including failure to charge Chris Busch for other related crimes, as well as the stunning failure to investigate his own claims that he used the Big Brother program in Oakland County to gain access to victims. Carte blanche indeed and it related not just to his daddy’s position at GM, but also the many men H.Lee associated with in Europe and the U.S. And maybe even a three-letter government agency that could care less about the fat boy (except to the extent he was risking exposure of a lot of men), but would most certainly protect his daddy.
Is there a repository of documents somewhere shedding more light on HLB’s potentially illicit involvement and predilections? I’ve seen it referenced places but only in a slightly oblique way and would love to learn more.
(I know he was the sort to live in the shadows. Shredding all your family’s documents at the end of life isn’t suspect at all…)
Others are researching and investigating him. I don’t have the bandwidth and I do not have permission to share the documents I have seen. I do know a documentary is tentatively set to release this summer which examines the “life and times” of Frank Shelden and of H. Lee Busch.
Great news!
I’ll run my mouth for the last time tonight before I retire.
What the F–K was H. Lee sitting on that the motherfucker has been dead for 24 years, and they will say suspect Chris Busch but they won’t say H. Lee or Elsie- just “former GM Executive”.
Is he some spectral being that haunts “journalist’s” dreams ?
Near the end of one of the interviews I have given the past two weeks, I was asked “What haunts you the most?” My answer, which like most of the interview, was not aired, was “That nobody looked closely at H. Lee Busch, who lived 2.5 miles from our house.”
In her book The Snow Killings, Marney Keenan recounts an interview then OCP Jessica Cooper deigned to submit to. When asked about all of the sweet deals Chris Busch received around the entire state of Michigan, Cooper said she had really never seen such a thing except maybe in cases involving confidential informants. She was certainly aware by that time, if not long before, that Patterson and Thompson had given Chris Busch an inexplicable passage to freedom (to rape more kids), probably now well aware of what her old pal Larry Wasser knew/did, but wasn’t going to risk a lawsuit that by all rights should have bankrupted that awful county. Like leaving no extra dough for monuments to the eternal county executive upon his passing.
I have a hard time seeing Chris Busch as a CI, but what do I know? I don’t have a hard time seeing H. Lee participating in some of the fucked up shit the US government did after WWII. He was basically manufacturing royalty overseas, where he spent a lot of his career with GM. Epstein wasn’t the first criminal to use sex blackmail. It was H. Lee who had the impenetrable “get out of jail free” card and knew it. His son’s actions risked damage to H. Lee, GM corporate and all of the men in H. Lee’s orbit in Europe.
One call would have convinced someone like LBP to call of the dogs on Chris Busch, but he wouldn’t have done it for free if you ask me. That it all kept the lid on the pedophile “problem” that had long since bled over to white suburbs from places like the Cass–during a time that man was trying to climb all the social and political ladders–was just a bonus.
H. Lee Busch and Elsie Niemi Busch lived until their early 90s. It would appear that none of this shit took a toll on either of them. They were apparently built for it.
If it is OK … I want to add to these comments that Nina Innsted, from her podcast “Already Gone,” was a recent guest on “Missing Podcast.”
This is a two-part video discussion—published to YouTube on February 16 and 17, 2026—of the case timed with the 50-year anniversary (not a nice word to use in this context) of the abduction and murder of the first known “OCCK” victim, Mark Stebbins.

Absolutely, thanks.
All that Bozo Bouchard has to do is dig into the Lost Polygraph from Georgia and he would have some answers. Sure seems to be a direct path to Busch and the involvement of the OCCK murders based on the conclusions written. It’s right there underneath him at the MSP office if he digs enough. Or is the only trace that exist now days is Barry King’s FOIA papers? Is Hastings still alive? You would think someone would take on some responsibility to find some answers.
